Happy 4th of July

Jaxson and Great-Grandma Lucille

4th of July was literally an "Independence Day" because I was finally FREE from the hospital! I was really bummed because the 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. We usually hit the parades, fireworks, BBQ's, etc. But this year, I celebrated in a hospital bed in the maternity ward and Rob celebrated by taking care of a sick little 23 month old at home. We decided to at least try to make it feel like a holiday so when Rob and the kids picked me up from the hospital, we headed straight to his sister's home for a BBQ. One of the main reasons I did this is because I couldn't be at home alone with the baby because I still couldn't carry him because of my legs etc. So off we went to the BBQ pool party. The kids had a great time and I am glad we went. But boy, did I pay for it when we got home! I was beyond EXHAUSTED! My body went into full blown shutdown mode. I couldn't even hardly get up off the couch to walk up the stairs. After blacking out a few times, Rob helped me up the stairs and into bed. I am hoping for a better 4th of July next year.
